West Houston Assistance Ministries (WHAM!) needs our help.  We have set aside the 1st Sunday of every month as I-Can Day.

You do not have to limit your contribution to canned items.  Feel free to bring other non-perishable items to church, such as:
 
• Bottled water 
• Staples such as rice, beans, and cereals
• Travel size shampoo, lotion, razors, soap, toothbrushes, small toothpaste tubes 

A comprehensive list of items needed is available on the DOWNLOAD PAGE, as well as other useful information, including how to volunteer to help WHAM hands-on and how to donate gently used items to WHAM'S store, Second Blessings.
